This is an accurate description (they did want to make Jews enemy number 1), but the Nazi also began with attacks of Hirschfeld’s Institute for gay & #trans people. Why? Because they are invested in white MALE (as defined by them) power and immigrants, minorities and #gender spectrums destabilize it
